What We Really Were |
It seems years and years ago that |
People saw the sun |
We would sleep on beaches |
Now must I go sleep alone |
Between clean whole sheets |
But when I was with you we slept wrapped up |
Of course you must know that it did all end |
How then to recall what we really were |
Of course you must know that it did all end |
Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts |
For long |
That haunting song you sang about |
Picking roses and dropping them in the beloveds lap as she dreamed |
The translation clumsy |
Maybe it was that other song you sang about the beautiful dress that gets torn |
<Backmasked:Saw the sun, we would sleep on beaches...now must I go sleep alone |
between clean whole sheets, but when I was with you we slept wrapped up, |
it seems years and years ago that people saw the sun, we would sleep on |
beaches...> |
Of course you must know that it did all end |
How then to recall what we really were |
Of course you must know that it did all end |
Nothing that perfect or simple ever lasts |
For long |
